President Museveni has praised the Ugandan Anglican church for cutting ties with Canterbury, the seat of the Anglican Church worldwide after it blessed same sex marriages.

The president was yesterday speaking during the celebrations to mark the Janan Luwum day, in Kitgum district.

Last week, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Dr.Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu said the working relationship with the Church of England had been destroyed irreparably after the latter allowed priests to bless same sex marriages.

President Museveni applauded the religious leaders for coming out strong against homosexuality that he said in not African.
